Sam Cardwell (aka DJ Minx)

January 9th, 2012|0 Comments

I’ve known Sam for several years , and been taking pictures throughout to use as her DJ portfolio shots. In the early days, it was very much about not having the money and helping an aspiring DJ.

Now, Sam is no longer aspiring. Check out her details here…

But that doesn’t stop her coming back for the annual portfolio shoot, each time looking for something different.

 

 

 

This year, Sam was after something different from the ‘usual static pose’.

What she wanted, she wasn’t sure of, until we got in the studio and started to play.

 

 

 

 

Several more poses and a cuppa, and then the fog cleared – giving us a variety of shots around this type of theme…

 

 

She liked the way the image captured the fun she has creating and playing the music at clubs and events.

As she often says, being a DJ is like being on a Busman’s holiday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At this shoot, Sam was also after something with a processed look -

so we took the one picture and gave it a make over.

 

 

 

 

 

 

But this got me thinking about the earlier stuff we’d shot – and I thought, well why not put them together to see how things have changed.

 

 

 

It all started off with this shot…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we had that ‘disco’ look…

 

 

 

And then a to close crop.

 

Of those taken so far, this is a favourite for many – but you can’t sit on the same old shot for ever in the entertainment world, which means we have to look for a different angle for the next shoot.

Which leaves me wondering what the ‘next look’ will be!

 

 

So, keep an eye out for future shots, or follow Sam on her site, it’ll be there in just under a years time!

(Unless she gets an urge to recreate a look she’s seen whilst overseas)
